"how to meet people" -- have a baby






Its funny how friendly people are when you have a baby, in the elevator today this lady couldn't resist smiling and talking to Brynlee. All of a sudden this total stranger is your bestest buddy. This is odd for me being a scary looking giant, most people are that open to talk.
However witht he edition of a cute little girl all of a sudden many nice perks are available. For instance: 1- I feel like a pregnant lady based on how many doors have been opened for me lately. Some guy who looked like a gang banger opened the door when I had Bryn with me this morning. 2- God I feel social again! I never knew there were so many nice people in the world, I thought they were just a bunch of nameless drones that can't drive. But I now get to see the softy side of every person that talks to babygirl. 3- I now have something in common with every parent, we get to compare notes on- number of teeth, theories about bedtime, diaper changing (which isn't that bad all you wussy dad's), etc.
Wow its fun being a parent

Hm, I think I will have a baby just so I can get another boyfriend. Thanks for the idea.

Also, you are sort of a scary giant. I was mildly afraid of you when I first started working here. However, as soon as I heard you had a baby, I knew you were all right.

I'll have to remember this post when you come into work everyday, complaining about how you got no sleep and you have no social life. Congrats.

Oh, and love the kidnapper van in the background. I'm sure there are a few small children in there as we speak.

I LOVED the kidnapper van comment!! LeAnn told me about the blog. LOVE the pictures. I wish every Dad would have the gumption to post some pics and even leave some comments about them. Good job Chuck!
